"Beautiful"
Exquisite and charming. Ive set them on a window ledge and the silhouette when the sun shines through is stunning. Smaller than I expected, but find that the small size adds to the charm. Still, would love a larger set to put on the fireplace mantle.

"Beautiful reminder of meaning of Christmas"
This is truly lovely with detailed workmanship. My parish and those surrounding (L.I.,N.Y.)often have a priest from Ghana. This reminds me of their deep faith and ministry they bring to us. I now will add to year round display in china cabinet of other Nativity scenes, including others from Novica. HIS presence is present.
